of 684 Kentucky Elementary Schools

Better than 19% of Kentucky elementary schools

Summary

Albany Elementary School serves grades 1–4 and enrolls 486 students in Albany, Kentucky, in Clinton County. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 19th percentile statewide with 1 star; the district is at the 13th percentile with 1 star. The clearest academic concern is fourth-grade science: 23% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, 17 points below the state’s 40%.

Third-grade reading is Albany’s strongest comparison: 49% were proficient, matching the state and exceeding the nearby-school average of 43%; only Cumberland County Elementary School scored higher among the three nearby schools with results. The gaps are more pronounced in math and science: Albany had 28% proficiency in both tested math grades, compared with 43% statewide, and fourth-grade science trailed the nearby-school average of 39%. Fourth-grade reading was 38%, 12 points below the state and below the nearby average of 41%. Albany’s supplied district scores match its own in every grade and subject, so they are not a separate comparison.

Reading has improved over time: third-grade proficiency rose 25 points, from 24% in 2022–2023 to 49% in 2025–2026, while fourth-grade reading increased 8 points, to 38%. Math and science have made less progress: third-grade math is 7 points below its 2022–2023 result, and the fourth-grade science gap with the state widened to 17 points. SchoolDigger’s measure of effectiveness for Low Socio Economic Status Students rose from the 9th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 27th in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s overall 19th percentile. Albany’s student–teacher ratio was 14.1 in 2024–2025, lower than at the three nearby schools with current test results. The school reported 81% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. Chronic absenteeism was 22% in 2025–2026, below the state’s 24% and the district’s 30%.
